Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

I lived with anxiety without ever knowing what it was growing up, and it was after I started going to the gym and lifting weights that it kinda just went away on its own. i know it's the cliche and it sounds like a non-answer, but it really just improved naturally. it was very tough feeling comfortable at the gym in the early days but i quickly became comfortable and it became kind of like a second home for me. I even took a solo trip abroad 2 years in (well, solo for a leg of it lol). A part of it might also have been age and just getting older.
I know it sucks but you don't have to live like this! There are answers.
Conventional wisdom is often conventional for a reason. I used to have a gym subscription but ended up racking up a fair amount of debt. Oh well. Thank you for your response.
